The study aim was to determine the risk of cataract among radiologic technologists with
respect to occupational and nonoccupational exposures to ionizing radiation and to …

It has long been known that relatively high-dose ionising radiation exposure (> 1 Gy) can
induce cataract, but there has been no evidence that this occurs at low doses (< 100 mGy) …

Ionizing radiation exposure to the lens of the eye is a known cause of cataractogenesis.
Historically, it was believed that the acute threshold dose for cataract formation was 5 Sv …

Ionizing radiation is a well-known but little understood risk factor for lens opacities. Until
recently, cataract development was considered to be a deterministic effect occurring at lens …

This study is the first to report cataract type specific risks in a cohort of Russian Mayak
Production Association workers following chronic occupational exposure to ionizing …

The prevailing belief for some decades has been that human radiation-related cataract
occurs only after relatively high doses; for instance, the ICRP estimates that brief exposures …

Objectives Previous analyses of cataract in radiation-exposed populations have assessed
relative risk; radiogenic excess additive risk (EAR), arguably of more public health …

Purpose: This review summarizes the conclusions and recommendations of the new
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Commentary No. 26 …

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has considered for over 60
years that the lens of the eye is among the most radiosensitive tissues, and has …

Until very recently, ocular exposure guidelines were based on the assumption that radiation
cataract is a deterministic event requiring threshold doses generally greater than 2Gy. This …
